A couple of months ago I wrote a brief commentary about elderly drivers with thoughts that maybe it was time to somehow come up with a method of testing in order to prevent those with declining abilities from driving. I also noted that it was not a matter of chronological age so much as mental and physical acuity that should determine their ability to drive. Since that time there have been more tragic vehicle accidents, involving elderly drivers, and there have been numerous opinions made as to what needs to be done.

I don't know Victor Pap other than that he is on the Town Council in Weymouth. Since I have started this blog, I generally avoid singling anyone out for criticism that doesn't directly relate to a particular Weymouth issue. I am far from any kind of expert on National and World politics or events and if I do happen to weigh in on a topic,I make sure I do at least a marginal amount of research in order to sound somewhat respectable and intelligent, which, I might add, can be allot of work.

I recently commented on a Ledger report about police cracking down on seat belt usage this week. I’m not sure what’s so special about this week as opposed to any other or how law enforcement all of a sudden thinks they can focus on seat belts when, by law, they are not allow to. Anyway, my comments, particularly regarding seat belts are often misconstrued by those who feel I am against wearing a seat belt. That is not the case, so, I want to clarify something. I wear my seat belt all most of the time. I also make anyone riding in my vehicle wear one and I remind my driving age children to wear them. You know why? Because they save lives it’s the law. I obey the law and believe anyone caught disobeying the law should be fined, cited, arrested, what-have-you.

After more than ten years of planning and meeting and squabbling the Southfield project partners, LNR and Tri-Town finally appeared to extricate themselves from the Twilight Zone when they announced plans to move ahead with the long anticipated movie studio. This was good news to all us Wahey's who found the lack of progress there easy fodder for criticism. Before we get too excited however, it might be advisable to keep the barf bags close by in preparation of the roller coaster ride we no doubt will be experiencing next.

Greg Beeman, President of the Massachusetts Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors recently wrote into the Weymouth News to criticize the town’s Responsible Employer Ordinance. It appears that the Fogg Library Project will be delayed because contractors have difficulty complying with Weymouth’s Responsible Employer Ordinance just as the Water Treatment Plant Project is now behind schedule for the same reasons. Reflecting some of his comments, the ordinances that have been passed by several communities under heavy union pressure in fact verge on being illegal and without question, exclusionary. Any politically correct union official will undoubtedly deny that the regulations exempt anyone from participation even though the ordinances are always lobbied for and backed by all the affiliated Locals. The truth remains that small non-union companies cannot comply with the REO even though they may be DCAM certified for specific projects. In the case of the Fogg Library, there are several roofing contractors located within 20 miles of this project that are more than qualified to complete the work but will never bid because of the REO.

Last night, the Weymouth School Committee undoubtedly set out to prove that they know what’s best for our children by negating the “reduced” penalty, as the Patriot Ledger put it, set forth by the High School Principle and Athletic Director. In their infinite wisdom they’re determined to send a clear message that Weymouth doesn’t tolerate underage alcohol abuse by creating a penalty twice as strict as 90% of all the schools in Massachusetts. We here in Wahey country think the message the committee wants to send more likely can be interpreted to mean “who’s better than us?”

Call me kooky, but I’m from the school of thought that when the Man Upstairs decides to pluck your sorry butt from amongst the living, then nothing will save you, not even a seat belt. I’m hoping our old friend Jerry Williams is “talking me up” to the Almighty as I write this otherwise I might find my personal freedom forever restricted by a seat belt in Purgatory. For those who don’t remember Jerry, he was the talk radio host that campaigned against seat belt laws and won.

The Weymouth Town Council, as recommended by the Preservation Committee, recently approved the purchase of a tract of land located on the banks of the Back River, immediately adjacent to the Abigail Adams State Park. The Special Meeting was called strictly for the purpose of addressing any concerns residents might have had about the land purchase. There was a turnout of approximately 25 people who all appeared to be in favor of the Preservation Committee’s recommendation, some even commenting how this would have made the late Mary Toomey, who was instrumental in the protection of the Back River, very happy. There were several rounds of applause as residents and Council Members commented and finally approved the purchase.
